About the HELP Project

Food pantries report that daily basic household supplies that we all use every day, such as toilet paper, soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, and baby diapers are seldom donated and that they are receiving an increasing number of requests for these kinds of supplies. Food stamps cannot be used to buy these items, making it harder for families to replace them.

The HELP Project supplies families in need with these household essentials. To access HELP project items, please contact one of the local food pantries we stock. We do not distribute HELP items directly.
